What are some good tear-jerking movies?

For me the movie “The Bucket List” was a tear-jerker. I know it really depends on the person, but to me this film was pretty inspiring. Having people I know pass away from cancer I found this film easy to relate to and had a close connection to it.

The Notebook I am not into chick flicks but this one got me. My husband cried during Top Gun, when Goose went down. But I didn’t tell you that.

A Time to Kill made me bawl my eyes out a few times.

Brokeback Mountain. Boo hoooooooooo

Sam I Am
Terms of Endearment

What’s Eating Gilbert Grape

Life is Beautiful
Love Me If You Dare
The Notebook
Schindler’s List

How about “It’s a Wonderful Life”?

Straight Story

ok I am being an ass but some that really get me are:
Bloodsport
Mary Poppins
Rambo
anything with Eddie Murphy

What Dreams May Come. I sob every time I watch it. It’s also a great book, though it doesn’t make me cry in that form.

And The Notebook deserves a third mention. Again, sobs, not just a tear or two running down my cheek.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
Running On Empty
Where the Red Fern Grows

@trustinglife: I read the question and thought about that movie
Dumbo always gets me
The notebook (that movies beautiful)

The Pursuit of Happyness
Life Is Beautiful

raja hindustani
not sure if mainy indians on this site but can get english subtitled versions

also-
The Elephant Man
My Left Foot
Braveheart

A more recent one – Atonement. I’m not usually one for period pieces but this one isn’t just sap love story but an incredibly take on two people that just want to be together and how our little choices everyday can affect us so profoundly. I can feel my heart pitter patter just thinking about it.

Steel Magnolias. Ultimate chick flick tear-jerker.

Titanic!

Ordinary People
Birdy

GHOST-Love doesn’t end with death
CASABLANCA-We’ll always have Paris
GLORY-The greatest sacrifice
PHILADELPHIA-What’s wrong with tour face? I have AIDS

oh…TheNotebook < that was something!

Dancer in the Dark…seriously, you gotta see this movie even if you don’t like Bjork (or musicals).

@dlm812 – Good one…one of my all-time favorites!

The Green Mile
Leaving Las Vegas

@Artificialard – Have you read the book? Not that the movie wasn’t sad or wonderful, but as is usually the case, the book is MUCH better.

Truly Madly Deeply

Forest Gump
Schindlers List

We watched Schindlers list in our religion class, I almost started sobbing right there.

The Hiding Place
Saving Private Ryan
Rudy
I Am Sam
Remember the Titans
.... and my number one tear-jerker…

Bambi :’(

@dlm812 After I saw it I regretted not reading the book first – I agree that the book must’ve been an epic story if the film was so incredible. Unfortunately I find it distracting to read books after I’ve seen the movie since some of the plot is already revealed. I’m definitely going to read something else by McEwan though…

Old Yeller

@artificialard: I completely agree. When I saw that the movie was going to be made, I went out and bought the book so that I could read it before I saw it in theaters. I definitely recommend that you read another McEwan novel though. He’s a great author.

I can’t believe I forgot City of Angels! Oh, heartbreaking and uplifting all in one.

I’m not surprised I forgot City of Angels. That movie is so damn depressing it should be outlawed.

I know…such a dirty trick. Though I did find the ending uplifting – in a very morose kind of way. Is that even possible?

Totally possible. That’s what words like ‘bittersweet’ are for!

/cry

City of Angels. I was just thinking about that movie yesterday when the Goo Goo Dolls came on some store music. I was all yay new purse!- nooooooo, Meg Ryan, sad.

It was kind of a roller coaster day.

Is anyone else looking at some of the movies on the list and thinking: ‘What the hell? That was horrible!’…?

@artificialard—Not here so much, but I’m definitely having that reaction over on the ‘funniest movie you’ve ever seen’ thread.

-I am Sam
-Little Women
-The Power of One
-A.I
-The Green Mile
-Click
-The Land Before Time (no, not joking, if you ever watched it as a kid and remember loving it, watch it again now and tell me you didn’t cry… :P)
-and I almost shed a tear watching Becoming Jane, just thinking about how many happy endings she wrote but she never got her own :(

The Land Before Time! I haven’t watched that in so long, but that was another one that always made me sob. Now I’ll have to get my hands on a copy to see if it still sets off the waterworks…

i’ve never cried more over a movie than when i watched brokeback mountain. usually movies with animals make me a whole lot sadder than those involving people, but oh my god. hours after i watched the movie i was still randomly breaking into tears.

I forgot Kite Runner. It was probably the saddest movie I have seen.
